Okay I will admit that I am at a loss, I’ve read numerous posts here regarding starter problems involving a clicking sound. Let me describe what’s going on with my 1977 original 650, when I turn the key on the ignition the neutral light comes on, make sure switch is on run and when I press the start button all I get is a clicking sound. The bike will kickstart and run flawlessly, here is what I have done and observed:
1- it has a brand new battery totally charged
2- press starter button and clicking sound comes from relay
3- checked fuse and it’s okay
4- disconnected and reconnected all wires around relay
5- disconnected and reconnected battery ground wire
6- checked starter cable all is tight and connected
7- used screwdriver with solenoid the starter turned and worked perfectly, bike started right up
What am I missing?
